Civil Liability

The SAicorp Agency Agreement does not have a “cyber” exclusion and will therefore pay any costs or damages (including legal defence) for which the Agency is found legally liable to a third party as a result of a data breach or security failure, subject to the usual Agency Agreement terms and conditions.
